Curated Science Communication

It is really difficult for content creators to figure out how to balance creative storytelling and scientific communication.
Here are some channels on youtube that I believe are doing a great job at it. Do feel free to contact me and suggest more!

Natural History done in a way I never thought would be as popular as it has become.
It is now an inside look into the Field Museum (of Chicago) and shows what life in the field is like.
Includes full-length animal dissections, complete with humorous commentary to deal with the morbidity (and the smell).

Half as Interesting started out as a recurring series on the first channel based on the concept of turning a set of esoteric Wikipedia pages into videos.
Most are transportation (train, plane, car, etc.) themed, which sounds boring, I know.

We can learn a lot from this channel, which manages to rack up a lot of views with only stock footage (and a good script).
